Research that changes the clinical model.
The program’s research focus is practical: identify where conventional wound assumptions fail, test a different clinical model, and bring the resulting technique back to patient care and surgical education.
Skin tears and tissue preservation
Published work has examined geriatric skin tears and traumatic avulsion injuries as salvageable autologous tissue rather than tissue that should automatically be discarded.
Reconstructive innovation
Clinical innovation extends beyond dressings to operative tissue salvage, skin grafting strategies, limb preservation and reconstruction of complex soft-tissue defects.
Teaching
The clinical program operates within an academic and graduate-medical-education environment. Teaching reinforces the same principle used in difficult wounds: define the real biological problem before choosing the procedure.

Common questions
Questions patients often ask.
Why does research matter in wound care?
Because some of the most important advances come from changing the treatment model rather than adding another product.
